As called for in the Doha Ministerial Declaration, Members of the World Trade Organization (WTO) have initiated negotiations on “the reduction or, as appropriate, elimination of tariff and non-tariff barriers to environmental goods and services.” The liberalization of trade in environmental goods and services (EGS) may bring economic, environmental and developmental benefits to developing countries through easier access to environmentally sound technology, as well as improved resource management and environmental conditions.
Como se convino en la Declaración Ministerial de Doha, los miembros de la Organización Mundial del Comercio (OMC) han iniciado negociaciones sobre "la reducción o, según proceda, la eliminación de los obstáculos arancelarios y no arancelarios a los bienes y servicios ecológicos".
